Resetting or Restoring the Cisco Unified IP Phone
There are two methods for resetting or restoring the Cisco Unified IP Phone:
 • Performing a Basic Reset, page 9-12
 • Performing a Factory Reset, page 9-13
Performing a Basic Reset
Performing a basic reset of a Cisco Unified IP Phone provides a way to recover if the phone experiences 
an error and provides a way to reset or restore various configuration and security settings.
Table 9-3 describes the ways to perform a basic reset. You can reset a phone with any of these operations 
any time after the phone has started up. Choose the operation that is appropriate for your situation. 
Call established with the iLBC 
protocol does not show that the iLBC 
codec is being used
Call statistics display does not show iLBC as the receiver/sender codec.
 • Check the following using the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration:
 –
Both phones are in the iLBC device pool.
 –
The iLBC device pool is configured with the iLBC region.
 –
The iLBC region is configured with the iLBC codec.
 • Capture a sniffer trace between the phone and Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager and verify that SCCP messages, OpenReceiveChannel, and 
StationMediaTransmit messages have media payload type value equal to 86. If so, 
the problem is with the phone; otherwise, the problem is with the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager configuration.
 • Enable audio server debug and capture logs from both phones. If needed, enable 
Java debug.
